The Fairfield Theatre, which opened on April 30, 1928, did had a little article during World War II. It was originally an all-white theater, but following the killing of a colored man on April 26, 1941 literally made colored residents to blame on the Fairfield Theatre for the very unfortunate affair. Fairfield had two theaters at the time, which is the Fairfield and the Gary.
The Fairfield Theatre closed for the final time on July 15, 1967 with Don Knotts in “The Reluctant Astronaut”.
